The Young Lady Only Wants to Be a Beautiful Lunatic

She was the daughter of a great general. But her father doted on his concubine and neglected his wife, letting the concubine cut open her mother’s belly to steal her child. Because her father had helped protect the emperor and secure his throne, the emperor punished him with only half a year’s salary. Furious, she sought refuge with her uncle and followed him in supporting Prince Xiang’s rebellion. When the rebellion was defeated, she was shot dead on the city wall. When she opened her eyes again, she had become a pitiful girl who had been killed after a failed attempt to elope. The pitiful girl had also been raised in her uncle’s home. Her mother showed her no affection, and her father ignored her. Despite her respectable family background and stunning beauty, she could only live under someone else’s roof, fixated on marrying into a powerful family. She schemed to steal another woman’s fiancé, fled back to the capital, and got herself killed. Ruizhi says: “Instead of marrying into a powerful family, why not become one? Come on, let’s start another rebellion!”
